Bently Nevada 16710-25 Interconnect Cable | 25ft Accelerometer

🔗 Bently Nevada 16710-25 Accelerometer Interconnect Cable

The Bently Nevada 16710-25 is a precision-engineered interconnect cable designed specifically for 330400 and 330425 series accelerometers, providing reliable vibration signal transmission in turbomachinery monitoring applications. This 25-foot (7.62m) armored cable features 3-conductor shielded 22 AWG construction with a 3-socket plug connector and terminal lugs, delivering superior EMI/RFI rejection and mechanical protection essential for accurate vibration measurements in power generation, oil & gas, and industrial rotating equipment.

⚙️ Vibration Monitoring Applications

Gas & Steam Turbine Monitoring: Connects 330400/330425 accelerometers mounted on turbine bearing housings to 3500 series monitoring systems in power plants (50-500 MW), measuring casing vibration and structural resonances that indicate bearing wear, rotor imbalance, or foundation issues before catastrophic failures occur.

Compressor Vibration Analysis: Links seismic sensors on centrifugal and reciprocating compressors in LNG plants, refineries, and pipeline stations to condition monitoring systems, detecting surge, pulsation, and mechanical looseness conditions through frequency spectrum analysis of 10 Hz to 10 kHz vibration signatures.

Motor & Generator Monitoring: Provides signal path from accelerometers on large motors (>500 HP) and generators to vibration monitors, identifying electrical faults (broken rotor bars, stator shorts), mechanical issues (misalignment, soft foot), and structural problems (loose mounting bolts, cracked frames).

Pump & Fan Surveillance: Enables continuous vibration monitoring of critical pumps, fans, and blowers in water treatment, HVAC, and process industries where 3-axis accelerometer installations require reliable cable connections maintaining signal integrity across 25-foot distances from equipment to control rooms.

🛡️ Technical Advantages

Armored Construction: Heavy-duty armor jacket protects cable from mechanical damage, abrasion, and crushing in harsh industrial environments where cables route through cable trays, conduits, and areas with foot traffic, extending service life to 15+ years versus 3-5 years for non-armored cables.

EMI/RFI Shielding: Braided shield with >90% coverage rejects electromagnetic interference from VFDs, motors, and welding equipment, maintaining signal-to-noise ratio above 60 dB essential for detecting low-amplitude vibration signatures (0.1-1.0 g) indicating early-stage bearing defects.

Factory-Terminated Connectors: Pre-installed 3-socket plug and terminal lugs eliminate field termination errors that cause 50% of vibration monitoring system failures during commissioning, ensuring proper pin assignments and contact resistance for accurate piezoelectric accelerometer signal transmission.

Flexible Length Options: Standard 25-foot length accommodates typical accelerometer-to-monitor distances in most installations, with custom lengths (3-99 ft) available for special applications, reducing cable inventory requirements and minimizing excess cable loops that introduce noise and signal degradation.
